Letter of Condolence from Irene Fernandes of Taunton, Massachusetts

United We Stand
September 11, 2001
Our hearts are weary this fateful day.
Our country in shock, I must say.
Towers that stood tall, came tumbling down
And now are not there at all
Innocent people that perished this day,
Are none other than heroes in every way.
The Pentagon that serve (serves) our country well,
Became a disaster, as a section fell.
Again lives are lost, as the building came down,
Resuming our search untill (until) all are found.
Camp David was spared, though lives were
Lost when a hero passenger fought in remorse.
The firemen, policemen, medical personnell (personnel),
And rescue teams, who also died in vain, our
Prayers go out to their families, again and again.
Many that they sought they could not find
Many that they found, they did free
Many that they freed, is a miracle you see
Much that I saw was a tragedy to me.
Irene Fernandes, Taunton, MA
